Message: <blockquote data-quote="spnadmin" data-source="post: 150057" data-attributes="member: 35">Harisimratkaur jiThe posting of an entire shabad is a forum Term of Service. There is only good reason for it. Saving time is laudable, true. However, the tendency to throw out a tuk here and pangatee there to prove a point is so tempting for so many who wish to discuss tenets of Sikhi. The result is that of posting the tuk that "proves" one's point, often missing the point of the tuk. Even worse is the tendency to search on a single word or term, and then to stack tuks and pangatees up in an article, 4 or 5 or even 20 to make a case. The cumulative effect is very impressive. The posters seems to know his/her stuff. But there again, the same idea expressed in Gurbani in one pangatee contributes a different meaning depending on the context of the shabad that surrounds it.We are here to promote understanding of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and discussion of shabads is the ideal way. Per Professor Sahib Singh, the meanings of words and pangatees, even of shabads, requires a wholistic reading of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. As we gather the big encompassing ideas, then the particulars of word and phrase begin to fall into place. By posting from <a href="http://www.srigranth.org" target="_blank">http://www.srigranth.org</a> the posting of long shabad goes much faster. Thanks for your question. </blockquote>
